Instead of starting with the daisy Cutters, try the following (after following the earlier steps in your plan):

Ring the city with M109 self-propelled artillery as well as heavy mortars and MLRS batteries.

Then, begin pounding the city at a steady pace for days much like the old days of siege warfare.

After days of shelling, send in the B-52s loaded with 750lb bombs and turn the rubble into a fine powder.

After this, we can begin rebuilding the city from scratch. The first nine streets will be named after the civilian contractors...

Sure let's go ahead! To root out a few hundred terrorists, are you proposing that we effectively create another 10,000? You start with one crappy little town and before long it'll be a crappy little region. Just remember: only a tiny percentage of the Iraqi population there is actually engaged in armed opposition to the coalition - the cells conducting these attacks are probably 20-30 members. The vast majority of Iraqis are getting on with life but, at least in the Sunni sector, don't like us and never will. What should we do? I think the better question is, what can we do without further complicating the task of pacifying Iraq?

I sadly but strongly agree.

We need to make a DRAMATIC AND VIVID AND THOROUGH STATEMENT

IN ACTIONS, VS WORDS.

I posted this on another thread, but I'll post it again here.

You tell the people of Falluja that the 4 civilians who were killed were from the company that provides security for the food convoys to Falluja. You tell them that the company has refused to provide security anymore because of what happened and that the drivers of the food convoys have refused to drive without security, therefore, there will be no more food convoys until the people of Falluja turn over the men responsible. PERIOD.

P.S. ... this from The Federalist: "Saddam Hussein's lawyer, a Frenchman naturally, says his client is 'has been exhibited like an animal at a fair.' Which brings up two questions: 1. Why are we treating him so well? 2. Are we charging admission?"

ROTFL!

Any method or system for destroying Fullujah as soon as possible is just ducky by me. Your humanitarian plan for sparing the inhabitants brings tears to my eyes just a little bit. But once we have these sandhogs on our hands what are we going to do with them? My fellow poster has a point, tempting as it may be, you just can't stripsearch 10,000 Shiites and then run their sorry butts into the desert. My proposal is this: we divide the lice-ridden camel jockeys into four groups. One group gets air dropped in the centers of Paris and Berlin respectively. The other groups, to show that we inflict no plague on others that we won't accept for ourselves, get airlifted to Berkeley and Harvard. The lucky campuses are then declared official sanddoggy refuges. Any Fallujah-ite caught off-campus gets shot on sight.

I say "This is war and if you're fighting us we're going to fight back." I'd round up the women and the children take them out of town and tell the men to either surrender or die take them to a POW camp, interrogate them and shoot the bad guys and I wouldn't be averse to them razing the whole town.

For some reason the "Mash" theme song came to mind.

(just a thought...)

or in an exercise of bipartisan outreach, Bush could ask Kerry to re-up some of those VietNam vets he so famously testified to the Congress about back in 71.

[NewRomeTacitus]

Never miss the opportunity for a really good joke at the enemy's expense, especially an enemy as deluded as this one.

After the smoke starts to clear the second plane should come along and drop the warning pamphlets.

This would send the message that we are normally the most civilized people on the planet. This time, though, we use the tools of civility to mock them. Write it all off to logistical errors and everything's covered.
